Comment (by karsten):
In dir-spec, lines starting with `@` are treated as annotations that
''precede'' a descriptor and that can be stripped off without changing the
descriptor. Including such a line inside a descriptor might be
problematic.
But after reading this ticket and #29461, I wonder if my suggestion to add
a version number was bad advice. After all, we already have `snowflake-
stats-end` in the first line as unique identifier of this descriptor type.
And if something in the data format changes, there will be a specification
update introducing new lines anyway. It's probably not worth the effort to
update existing specification, implementation, and data to add something
that we probably won't need. Can I take this suggestion back and we leave
the format unchanged? (Sorry!!)
